    . 1.1. INTRODUCTION

    A budget is a comprehensive plan of action expressed in

    physical and financial terms. Its a blue print of a companys

    financial estimates for the future. Budgeting forms the most

    important part of the planning function. Its a system of planning

    and control covering all the segments of an organization and also

    giving a sense of direction to the goals and objectives of an

    organization. A budget constitutes the principal instrument forprojecting the future cost revenues, which form an essential part of

    the management accounting and the foundation of firms financial

    control.

    A budget system should be such that it becomes imperative

    for the management to establish goals and objectives, define

    policies, allocate resources, set targets, and try to take corrective

    action if there are any deviations. A management is said to be

    effective if it can accomplish the objectives of an organization. But it

    is equally important for the organization to attain the objectives

    efficiently with minimum amount of resource utilization. In order to

    attain these set goals within a given set of constraints is a difficult

    job; hence with the help of a proper budget one can achieve the

    organizational goals and objectives.

    1.2. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    The study is conducted with the available data from the

    Annual Reports, Internal Reports, and other available data

    from several interactions with the staff of Tecumseh Products

    India Pvt. Ltd., and analysis was made accordingly.

    The data is secondary in nature as the records and

    statements, which shows their own limitations, and up to a

    certain extent it is even said to be primary while the collection

    of data regarding actual facts are collected from the

    concerned staff.

    The budgeting is done only for the next three years and it

    clearly explains the limitation regarding the duration of the

    study.

    All the budgets are prepared in the Organization by the

    concerned departments and they share the same as and when

    they required for proper adjustments and necessary updates.

    Hence the data collected from them is regarded as fair and

    absolute. The intension behind preparation of budgets is to

    forecast the sales and expenses to be incurred in the near

    future and compare with actuals.

    system for its product pricing and was a leading manufacturer in

    cooling and refrigeration compressors supplying not only to

    domestic markets but also exports to various international markets

    across the edges of the globe. Due to Liberalization and

    Globalization, and the increase in competition from private players,

    the organization is in a situation where it has to control its costs and

    make proper use of the existing financial resources. Control of costs

    is possible through an effective budgetary control system.

    1.5. LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

    The day-todays cut throat competition in the world of

    business, trade and commerce is leading to many complexities

    which when is not predicted properly according to the fast growing

    changes that are taking place in the market situations may result in

    adverse progress and some times may leads to exit from the

    industry or domestic markets.

    To avoid these kinds of threats endangering the survival

    prospects, there is a compulsion today to have a proper plan of

    action in predicting the prices, costs, funding the proposals,

    controlling the same and implementing the framed budgets and

    utilize the scarce resources avoiding maximum extent of wastages.

    Budget shows the real need to know the SWOT-analysis which

    in turn is simply known as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities,

    and Threats. Following these guidelines it is very simple to make

    proper budget allocations according to requirement and maketimely decisions. Budgeting and Budgetary control helps in this

    context of dynamism.

    Preparation of Budgets in various fields like purchases,

    production, salaries and wages, and sales process of the company

    on a monthly basis, quarterly and half-yearly basis gives effective

    12

    CONCEPT OF BUDGETNG AND BUDGETARY

    CONTROL

    Budget:

    A budget is a financial and quantitative statement, prepared and

    approved prior to defined period of time, of the policy to be pursued

    during that period for the purpose of attaining a given objective. It

    may include income, expenditure and the employment of capital.

    In other words, a budget is a systematic plan for the utilization of

    manpower and material resources. In a business organization a

    budget represents an estimate of the future costs and revenues.

    ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF A BUDGET:

    1. Its a written plan of activities for the future period of time.

    2. It is expressed in quantitative form, physical of monetary units

    or both.

    3. It relates to the income and expenditure for individual functions

    of the business.

    4. It is prepared for a definite period of time, usually for one year.

    5. It relates to the future period for which the objectives or goals

    have already been laid down.

    6. It is prepared in advance and is derived from the long-term

    strategy of the organization.

    OBJECTIVES OF A BUDGET:

    Budgets serve as a Blue Print of the desired plan of action.

    14

    15/81

    Budgets help in reduction of wastage and losses by revealing

    them in time for corrective action.

    Budgets serve as means of communication. The organization

    communicates the policies and targets to the managers in theorganization who are responsible to carry out the plan.

    Budgets serve as the benchmark for controlling ongoing

    operations.

    Budgets help to coordinate, integrate and balance various

    operations to achieve set objectives of the organization.

    Budgets are a way of communicating to the departmental,

    sectional, and divisional heads their responsibilities and

    making them accountable to the same if any deviations from

    the actuals arise.

    Budgets facilitate centralized control with delegated authority

    and responsibility. A system of control can be exercised by

    having a plan against which the actual results can be

    progressively compared and corrective actions are taken when

    ever necessary.

    Budgets compel advance planning. By having a formal

    budgeting procedure, management is forced to look to the

    future instead of living hand to mouth without any clear idea

    or purpose.

    Budgetary control:

    Budgetary control is a system of controlling costs that

    includes the preparation of budgets, coordinating with the

    departments and establishing responsibilities, comparing actual

    performance with that of the budget and acting upon results to

    achieve maximum profitability. Its a very important activity to

    ensure that the actuals confirm to the plans set through the

    15

    device for making the organization more efficient on all fronts. It is

    an important tool for controlling and achieving the organizational

    objectives.

    19/81

    The targets of the budgets should be realistic, if the targets

    are difficult to be achieved then they will not enthuse the

    persons concerned. A good system of accounting is also essential to make the

    budgeting successful.

    The budgeting system should have a whole-hearted support

    of the top management.

    The employees should be imparted budgeting education.

    There should be meetings and discussions and the targets

    should be explained to the employees concerned.

    A proper reporting system should be introduced; their actual

    results should be promptly reported so that their performance

    appraisal is undertaken.

    materials are directly identifiable as part of the final product and are

    directly used on machine.

    2) CONVERSION: - In this process the base material is being

    converted into final products through various processes applied on

    to shape them and give them the need satisfaction power.

    Conversion process not only converts the material into final

    products but also gives an ultimate solution.

    SOURCE OF PROCUREMENT:

    It has mainly two sources of procurement of raw material.

    1) DOMESTIC: - In this system mainly the procurement of raw

    materials can be made from with in the country.

    hence may consist of:

    (i) Programmed Budget(ii) Responsibility Budget

    (i) Programmed Budget: It consists of expected revenues and costs of

    various products or projects that are termed as the major

    programmers of the firm. Such a budget can be prepared for each

    product line or project showing revenues, costs and the relative

    profitability of the various programmers. Programmed budgets are

    thus, useful in locating areas where efforts may be required to

    reduce costs and increase revenues. They are also useful in

    determining Imbalances and inadequacies in programs so that

    corrective action may be taken in future.

    (ii) Responsibility Budgets: - When the operating budget of a firm is

    constructed in term of responsibility areas it is called the

    responsibility budgets. However responsibility areas may be

    budget. Master budget is prepared by the budget officer and it

    remains with the top level management. This budget is used to

    coordinate the activities of various functional departments and also

    to help as a control device.

    (C) CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF FLEXIBILITY:

    1) Fixed budget: - According to ICWA London, fixed budget is a

    budget which is designed to remind unchanged irrespective of

    the level of activity actual attained. Fixed budgets are

    suitable under static conditions. If sales, expenses and costs

    can be forecasted with greater accuracy than this budget can

    be advantageously used.

    2) Flexible budget: - A flexible budget consists of a series of

    budgets for different levels of activity. It therefore, varies

    with the level of activity attained. A flexible budget is

    prepared aftertaking intoconsideration unforeseen changes in

    25

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    26/81

    spelt out so that budgets are properly prepared. In theabsence of clear goals, the budgets will also be unrealistic.

    Proper delegation of Authority and Responsibility : Budget

    preparation and control is done at every level of management.

    Even though budgets are finalized at top level but

    involvement of persons from lower levels of management is

    essential for their success. This necessitates proper delegation

    of authority and responsibility.

    Proper communication system: An effective system of

    communication is required for a successful budgetary control.

    COST VARIANCE ANALYSIS.

    In Tecumseh Products India Pvt. Ltd. Cost variance analysis is

    prepared based upon the actual cost of the period by comparing

    actual cost with the budgeted or estimated cost.

    The cost variance analysis is the process of analyzing the difference

    between budgeted cost allowed for manufacturing a product and

    actual cost incurred. It is the process of analyzing flexible budget

    variances.

    A variance is the variation between the standard or estimated cost

    and the actual element. A variance or cost variance is the difference

    between standard cost and the comparable actual cost for a

    particular period.

    Types of Variances:

    The following three classes of variances are:

    Cost variance:- Direct materials, direct labour overheads.

    Sales variance.

    Profit or Loss variance.

    1. Cost Variance:

    Managers make two major types of decisions in the planning and

    controlling of costs.

    A) Price Decisions.

    29

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    30/81

    B) Quantity Decisions and the basis of these two

    types of decisions.

    There are two major sets of cost variances:(i). Price or rate variance and

    (ii) Quality usage or Efficiency variance.

    The sum of above two variances is the total variance.

    2. Sales Variance:

    A sales variance shows either the effect on

    business changes in quantities of sales or prices obtained for sales

    i.e., profit.

    3. Profit or Loss Variance:

    Profit or loss variance is the difference between

    the total cost variance and the sales variance.

    MATERIAL COST VARIANCE:

    Material cost variance is the difference between the total

    standard materials cost (SC) for the actual productions and the

    actual cost (AC). It is the difference between the standard cost and

    the actual cost of materials.

    The formula for material cost variance would be:

    MCR = (Standard cost of materials Actual cost of materials)

    ((SP * SQ) (AP * AQ))

    Where SP stands for Standard Price

    SQ stands for Standard quantity

    30

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    31/81

    AP stands for Actual Price

    AQ stands for Actual quantity

    MATERIAL USAGE VARIANCE:

    The material usage variance is equal to difference

    between the standard quantity (SQ) required for actual production

    and the actual quantity (AQ) used multiplied by the standard

    material price (SP).

    The formula for material usage variance would be:

    MUV = (Standard Qty for actual production Actual Qty) x

    Standard Price.

    (SQ AQ)*SP

    The material usage variance is divided into:

    (i) Material Mix or Mixture

    Variance

    (ii) Material Yield Variance.

    MATERIAL MIX VARIANCE:

    When a product requires two or more raw materials in its make-up

    then that is material mix variance. It is the difference between the

    total quantity in standard production, priced at the standard

    production, priced at the standard price and actual quantity of

    material used priced at the standard price.

    31

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    32/81

    The formula for material mix variance would be:

    MMV = (Standard Qty Actual Qty) x Standard Price per unit.

    MATERIAL YEILD VARIANCE:

    In industries, it is possible to lie down that output will be a

    particular percentage of total input of materials. In particular

    situation, it may be given that normal less in production will be 20%

    of input of materials. In a case like this, 80% of the total input of

    material will be expected output. It actual yield obtained happens to

    be different from the standard yield specified, there will be yield

    variance is that portion of material usage variance which is due to

    difference between actual yield obtained and standard yield

    specified.

    Tecumseh India deployed a gigabit LAN solution

    using updated hardware and passive components. The solution design was based on

    layer 3 switching technology, supported by a fiber backbone, on a gigabit interface for

    interdepartmental connectivity.

    The company now enjoys the benefits of a backbone, which offers high

    throughput and bandwidth, and is capable of handling increased load in future. The

    links are reliable and has very little downtime. And all this has helped the company to

    carry out online ERP transaction with various other nationwide locations.

    Tecumseh has notched up significant increase in business volume and

    expanded customer base in the last few years, including overseas customers.

    II. MARKETS

    Competitors:

    The Indian compressor industry has been in low gear for the past few years, recording

    sluggish top line and moderate bottom line growth. Most companies faced a tough

    time maintaining profitability levels. However, this was due to the overall economic

    conditions rather than company specific factors. In fact, companies have taken some

    tough decisions, in preparation for an economic up turn. In the recent years, the

    compressor and drilling equipment industry has undergone a massive restructuring

    and consolidation exercise. The several strategic moves made by the companies

    helped them emerge leaner and stronger organizations, better equipped to face

    challenges.

    41

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    42/81

    Competition has been constantly intensifying in this industry with more

    compressor manufactures going for strategic partnerships and the old players

    revamping their operations. Atlas Copco Ltd, ELGI equipments, Kirloskar-Copeland,

    BPL, Danfoss Industries, and Ingersoll-Rand Air solutions division are just some of

    the major competitors to Tecumseh. Apart from these big names there are many mass

    merchandisers which are becoming competitive in the local markets day-by-day.

    One major development in the industry that has significantly altered the

    markets dynamics has been the merger of Chicago Pneumatic (India) with Atlas

    Copco (India) subsequent to the merger of their parents at the global level. This has

    implications not only for Atlas Copco, but also for leading players like Tecumseh and

    others. Atlas Copco discontinued manufacturing of compressor elements and decided

    to assemble the product. According to the company, India lacks comparative

    advantage in the manufacturing of compressor elements. Only the financial

    performance would reveal the actual benefits of these initiatives.

    Ingersoll-Rand hived off its gas compressors and pumps business in line

    with its parents decision. Instead, it has decided to focus more on the growth of its

    residual businesses. It has also forayed into new areas such as equipment rental and

    refrigerator storage systems. These are relatively new businesses and the impact of

    these businesses on the future cash flows and its contribution to the top line is yet to

    be seen.

    42

  • 7/29/2019 Budg Ting

    43/81

    ELGI has hived off unfavorable businesses in which it did not have a

    competitive advantage and decided to concentrate more on core compressor business.

    Its Pneumatic break business has already been hived off and its has tapered down the

    production of multi-utility vehicles and plans to gradually close the multi-utility

    vehicle business in which he does not have enough competitive advantage. It has

    rearranged its entire operations by creating separate business units to concentrate on

    core products. Apart from these initiatives, ELGI also undertakes turnkey projects for

    setting up exclusive service stations for all major manufacturers and offers annual

    maintenance contracts for all service station equipments. It has consistently been

    increasing its presence in the compressor market to command 11.08% share as of

    2009.

    Even after such reign exercises taken up by the main competitors of Tecumseh

    India, it continues to lead the pack of compressor manufacturers in India with a

    whopping Rs. 300.8 crores sales (2004). Even though the market share of Tecumseh

    India has come down to 14% (2003-04) from 18% (2002-03), it continues to be the

    leader.

    Customers:

    Tecumseh India is the preferred supplier of compressors for many a best brands in

    India, middle East and SAARC countries. Most of its customers are original

    equipment manufactures (OEMs), distributors form a minor portion. Tecumseh is a

    silent partner powering many big OEMs; few of them are discussed below:

    Fujitsu General is the fourth Japanese air-conditioner company to enter India after

    Hitachi, Matsushita and the $4.5 billion Daikin Industries. Fujitsu General tied up

    with Chennai based ETA engineering private Ltd to make the famed O General

    brand window and split air-conditioners in Pondicherry sourcing completely knocked

    down kits and technology from Fujitsu General. Mr. Yagi, President, Fujitsu General,

    inaugurated ETA generals Rs. 30 crore, 60000 units per annum plant in Pondicherry

    and formally launched the air-conditioners India. The ETA group plans to invest

    similar amount in the second phase and gradually scale up the capacity to 2.5 lakh per

    annum, by 2006.

    Voltas-Fedders JV was a result of Fedders corporation, NJ, USA and Voltas

    Limited, a TATA company, coming together to form a joint venture for the

    manufacture of a range of room air-conditioners in India. The joint venture company,

    universal comfort products Pvt Ltd is based in Dadra, India. Fedders and Voltas each

    have a 50% interest in the joint venture, which will produce room and ductless split

    system air conditioners. This way the very first time that such a manufacturing only

    alliance has been formed in the air-conditioner industry in India. Voltass operations

    are organized into four independent business specific clusters: air-conditioning and

    refrigeration business group, international operations business group, unitary products

    business group, and engineering products business group. As in 2004, Voltas has sales

    amounting to Rs. 143 crores and Rs. 271 crores enjoys a market share of 7.8% and

    7.1% in air-conditioning and refrigerator markets respectively.

    Whirlpool India was formed when Whirlpool Corporation entered into a joint

    venture agreement with the TVS group to produce automatic washers at a plant setup

    in Pondicherry. A modest beginning was made to establish the whirlpool brand in

    India. In 1995 the whirlpool corporation acquired Kelvinator India ltd and entered

    into the refrigerator market. Later in 1995, majority ownership was gained in the TVS

    joint venture and the two entities were merged to form whirlpool India Ltd. The

    whirlpool plant went from having no awareness to claim an awareness of up to 85%

    and a market share of 25%. It has achieved a sale of Rs. 54.92 crores in 2004 in air

    conditioning equipment with a market share of 2.14%. In contrast to air conditioning

    equipment whirlpool is a behemoth in the refrigerators market with Rs. 803 crores

    sales and a dominant market share of 29.88% in 2004.

    Zamil Air Conditioners (ZAC) was founded in 1974 as one of the first air

    conditioning business to be established in Saudi Arabia and today is a leading

    international manufacturer of air-conditioning systems and is No. 1 in the Middle

    East. ZAC manufactures both consumer and commercial range of air conditioners and

    has sales operations in over 55 countries in the Middle East, America, Africa,

    Australia and the Far East. The company operations are structured into six Strategic

    Business Units (SBUs) supporting six in-house products and service brands as well as

    electronics major, Haier Group, has recently taken control of 100% stake in Haier

    appliances (India) Pvt. Ltd by buying out the initial Indian promoters. Haier

    appliances (India) forayed into the Indian market when the Koreans, LG and

    Samsung, had swamped the countrys consumer durable and electronics market. The

    company had sought the Governments permission to carry out manufacturing

    directly through original equipment manufactures (OEMs) as well as through contract

    manufacturers in India. At present, the company is outsourcing its products from

    3.2.INDUSTRY PROFILE

    Indian electronics and IT plays a major role in both the production and exports.

    During the year (1992-97), the electronics industry has achieved an annual growth of

    20% in production and over 40% in exports.

    The production in the year (1997-2002) is targeted at about Rs.380 billion with a

    growth rate of 37% and exports at about Rs.490 billion with a growth rate of 52%.

    Overall production is based on Indian Electronics industry which is widely distributed

    and there are more than 3500 units engaged in the electronic production. Which

    include in 13 central public sector units with 29 manufacturing establishments, 65

    units in state public sectors, 600 units in organized private sector and more than 2800

    units in small scale sectors.

    Electronics has made life simple. All of us in some form or other, directly or

    indirectly are using electronics goods. Demand for electronics goods has led to the

    establishment of many manufactures and development is on day-to-day basis. The

    thermal, hydro, nuclear plants and power transmission industries play a vital role for

    the establishment of heavy electronics industry.

    The industry having a wide scope because of rapid improving technologies because of

    such wide applications of electronics, there are several producers in different fields of

    electronics, with the announcement of new industrial policy (NIP) in 1991 all the

    Indian firms were exposed to global competition and foreign currency transactions in

    a big way.

    ABOUT AIR COMPRESSORS:

    Air compressors provide air at pressures higher than atmospheric. Refrigeration

    compressors and air conditioning compressors are designed specifically for airconditioning, heat pumping, and refrigeration enclosure air conditioners remove the

    heat generated by electronic devices from the inside of cabinets or enclosures.

    Industrial air filters reduce the number of particles in the air that passes through

    them. Breathing and ventilation air systems provide reliable and safe air supply

    sources to workers in hazardous industrial environments.

    Compressed air-purgers and vortex coolers are used for spot heating or cooling

    applications.

    Industrial air filters reduce the number of particles in the air that passes

    through them. Air filtration supplies the means to reduce the level of particulates in

    the air to a cleanliness standard required by any definition of air conditioning. It

    extends from the simple task of preventing lint and other debris from plugging

    heating/ cooling coils to removing particles as small as 0.1 micron which could cause

    a short circuit on microchips.

    Refrigerant compressors are designed specifically for air conditioning,

    heat pumping, and refrigeration. Small, stand-alone compressors are not included

    within this grouping. Refrigerant compressors are large-scale units specifically

    designed to be the heart of an industrial cooling or air-conditioning system (HVAC).

    They are integral components of the refrigeration cycle, in which refrigerant gases are

    cyclically evaporated and condensed, absorbing heat from the load to be cooled, and

    moving to an open environment where it is dissipated. The compressor serves two

    main functions: to compress low pressure, low volume gases into high pressure and

    temperature gases, and to remove vapor from the evaporator to maintain a low boiling

    point. There are three main types of refrigerant compressors: scroll, screw, and piston.

    Other compressor styles are available, but they are less common.

    INTERPRETATION

    The variance in the year 2007 comparing to budget vs. actual isvery unsatisfactory and the result is expressed as adverse. Thereason behind is, the overestimation of the budgeted figures overactual.

    In the year 2008 & 2009, the variance is positive and it isexpressed to be favorable performance.

    The overall variance of the three years i.e., from 2007 to2009 is negative. Hence, there is a curious requirement to reviewthe budgets. Concentration of performance appraisal in productionis at most desired.

    Note: In the year 2009, the actual direct labour costs are availableonly till March '08 i.e., for three months. Hence budgeted figures forvariance purpose are adjusted for three months.

    INTERPRETATION

    From the above data direct labour budget for three years right from 2007 to2009 are compared. The direct labour cost has increased in tune withdecreased production. This shows there is a lot of expenditure incurred in theyear 2008.

    A gradual decrease has been found in the year 2009 comparing tothe base year 2007.

    The level of expenditure is controlled up to a maximum level bythorough revisions.

    While calculating percentage changes, 2007 is taken as base year.The percentage change in the year 2008 increased to

    106.16%, which is beyond the limit. This shows over expenditure.

    The percentage change in the year 2009 decreased to 78.17%,showing that the strict management control on this issue in this year.

    Sales Budget

    INTERPRETATION

    The year 2007 is clearly indicating high sales while comparing to thesuccessive years. It is the combination of total sales includingdomestic and exports. The increase in sales in the year 2008 is dueto excess production.

    In the year 2008, the total sales value has drastically decreased dueto less production. Quite improvements are required for furtherrecovery.

    In the year 2009, though the production has increased, sales did

    not improve. Variation is very huge. Hence, quick redressal to theproblem of sales is desired.

    The percentage decreased to 92 and 91 for the years 2008 and2009 respectively compared to base year 2007.

    There is an over estimation with regards to profits in the year

    Though the budgeted income/profit statement in the year2008 is declined, even then the actual profit went into losses. i.e.,the actual loss is above 7 crores. Hence, the result is adverse.

    In the year 2009, due to proper revisions and effectivebudgetary controlling techniques they recouped their profit back.

    This is evident by seeing only three months statement, which isabove 9 crores. This is indicated to be excellent progress.

    very high. This may be due to high production volume.

    In the year 2008, a sudden steep decline is visualizedshowing very less material volume. The reason behind is thedecrease in production volume. The performance in this year is verypoor, which can be affidavit by seeing income statements for theyear 2008.

    In the year 2009, a good estimation, a proper revise, strict

    supervisory control enabled the management to have an effectivecontrol over materials purchased.

    INTERPRETATION

    Total labour absorption budget in the above chart is the imitation

    for the months of SEP to DEC 2009.

    The allocation of budget on permanent workers is

    constant, whereas on temporary and contract basis workers are

    fluctuating. Expenditure on blue collars and technicians is always

    desired, whereas opting for badlis who are called to be surplus

    workers is to be reduced.

    For fruitful results and getting excellent profitability labour

    budget controlling is always suggested.

    Utilization of skilled labour progressively gives desired

    results and it is also possible to curtail down unnecessary

    expenditure on untrained workers.

    CONCLUSIONS

    The study at Tecumseh Products India Pvt. Ltd. at

    Hyderabad Plant is defined to be the most technical and

    analytical study. The professionalism that encapsulates the

    various degrees of performances at every step of financial

    study is like a new game.

    The actual subject matter, naming the project work on

    BUDGETING and BUDGETARY CONTROL in a

    manufacturing concern is the practical exposure drawn out

    from the efforts of management of Tecumseh, Hyderabad.

    The various budgets called financial budgets, operating

    budgets, and their performances are studied and interpreted

    according to the actual performance evidenced from past

    three years.

    The budgets are prepared on the basis of ANNUAL

    BUDGETS AND QUARTERLY BUDGETS. By studying annual

    budgets, it is well understood that the estimations, their

    revisions, are factualized according to the past performances,

    which are overestimated in the initial stages and got adjusted

    in their successive stages.

    Preparation of master budgets, fixed budgets, flexible

    budgets are desired to be prepared to have easy and fast

    access to the data required by the staff and line management.

    As the company incurred huge unexpected losses in the

    previous two years there is a lot of requirement to review its

    standards, estimations and follow accordingly.

    SUGGESTIONS

    Financial interpretations for each and every budget are

    required to be clearly analyzed and frequent revisions for

    setting dynamic goals according to the changing market

    conditions may lead to the chasing of the actual target i.e.,

    becoming the global leader in the markets which ever they

    choose to participate.

    Good review of mission, not from the point of theory,but required exact practical implementations. Preparation of

    complicated data always leads to many conflicts, requires lot

    of time and labour and this may delay decision making as well

    as the information costs.

    Collection of latest market information regarding the

    cost of raw materials, quality of raw materials, competitor

    prices, alternative suppliers, growth opportunities, the

    diversifying marketing expansion, upgradation of technology,

    observation of business cycles, SMART production methods,

    SWOT analysis, concentration of skilled labour are some of

    the important pre-requisites.

    As the business of Tecumseh depends basically on

    exports up to a larger extent, increasing global standards is a
